Classic Kevin, :-)

"...It also complains that OpenOffice is slow, requires additional 
training, has poor support for macros in its Spreadsheet software, and 
features poor document conversions to-and-from word...."

Just like MS Office then.

There was an oul boy (Martin) on Joe Duffy a while back, and he was 
complaining that the E.C.D.L course he attended was useless to him, as 
they use "Microsoft" 2003, and he uses "Microsoft" 2007 at home, so when 
he tried to do things he had learned on the course he was completely stuck.
